Sydney's Grant modest over Socceroos talk

He's not getting ahead of himself but Rhyan Grant is flattered his name is being thrown around as a potential solution to the Socceroos' right-back problem.

Grant continued his sterling A-League form with a man-of-the-match display in Sydney FC's controversial 2-1 win over Melbourne Victory on Saturday night.

His workrate and attacking prowess earned the 25-year-old praise from fans and commentators, who suggested it was time Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou cast a closer eye over the former Olyroo.

Postecoglou has openly admitted right-back is a troublesome position in the national team and several players have tried and failed to nail down the role as their own.

Perth's Josh Risdon and Germany-based Milos Degenek are his current picks for next week's World Cup qualifier against Thailand, at the expense of China-based Ryan McGowan and Grant's Victory counterpart Jason Geria.

Yet Grant said he'd never seriously considered such a chance for himself.

"Obviously as a youngster you want to get there but I've never really chucked myself in the frame," Grant said.

"My sisters told me they heard it on commentary but I'm not going to get ahead of myself.
